Airborne wear particles emitted from transport vehicle brakes are one of the main sources of toxic metals in inhalable particulate matter. Prediction of wear particle emissions may become more accurate if the relationship between the wear and particle emission characteristics is known. An experimental study was performed to investigate proportional correlations between the mass wear, 0.01–0.42 μm particle emission measured by a NanoScan SMPS Nanoparticle Sizer (SMPS) and 0.3–10 μm particle emission measured by an Optical Particle Sizer (OPS). Several car brake low-metallic materials in the form of pin samples were tested against steel disc samples at different values of the contact pressure and sliding velocity. The pin-on-disc friction pair was placed in a clean chamber to eliminate external particle sources. The obtained results suggest a strong proportional correlation between the disc sample wear and pin sample wear. OPS and SMPS particle concentrations were also revealed to strongly correlate between each other. By contrast, the disc sample wear exhibited weak correlations with the particle concentrations for most of the materials.
